Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
What type of train uses magnets?
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
Does Italy have Maglev train?
no
What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
How does balance effect the maglev train?
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
What is electromagnet train?
You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
How do you stop a magnetic train?
This presumes you refer to a maglev train by saying magnetic train. The propulsion of a maglev is essentially by linear induction propulsion. This is also in use on "people mover" systems. Braking is performed by the same systems that provide the propulsion, they simply operate to the reverse direction. For a maglev, there is also a settling system (such as wheels or skids) as it will also lose its lift. The settling system includes a form of brake as the speed decreases.
What is the weight of the maglev train?
== ==
What are the parts of a maglev train?
barney is on the train chewing chicken
Who is the inventor of the maglev train?
The maglev train was first invented in 1902 . It was invented by a guy named Alfred Zehan.
